# Implementation Complete: HTTPS Support for Kiwy-Signage ## Status: ✅ COMPLETE All changes from `integration_guide.md` have been successfully implemented into the Kiwy-Signage application. --- ## Summary of Changes ### New Files Created 1. **`src/ssl_utils.py`** - Complete SSL/HTTPS utilities module - SSLManager class for certificate handling - Automatic certificate download and storage - SSL-configured requests session management - Certificate validation and info retrieval ### Modified Files 2. **`src/player_auth.py`** - Enhanced with HTTPS support - SSL manager integration - HTTPS-aware authentication - SSL error handling - All API methods updated to use SSL sessions 3. **`src/get_playlists_v2.py`** - HTTPS playlist management - HTTPS configuration support - SSL manager for media downloads - Enhanced error handling for SSL issues 4. **`src/main.py`** - Configuration and UI updates - Default config now uses HTTPS (port 443) - Connection test passes HTTPS settings - Better logging for SSL connections 5. **`config/app_config.json`** - Configuration update - Added `"use_https": true` - Added `"verify_ssl": true` - Port explicitly set to 443 ### Documentation Created 6. **`HTTPS_IMPLEMENTATION.md`** - Complete implementation guide - Detailed file-by-file changes - SSL certificate flow explanation - Security considerations - Testing checklist - Migration guide 7. **`HTTPS_QUICK_REFERENCE.md`** - Developer quick reference - Code usage examples - Configuration scenarios - Troubleshooting guide - Certificate management commands --- ## Key Features Implemented ### ✅ Automatic Certificate Management - Player automatically downloads server certificate on first connection - Certificate stored locally in `~/.kiwy-signage/` - Subsequent connections use saved certificate ### ✅ Secure Authentication - All authentication now uses HTTPS - Automatic URL scheme normalization to HTTPS - SSL certificate verification (configurable) ### ✅ HTTPS Playlist Operations - Playlist fetching over HTTPS - Media file downloads over HTTPS - Status feedback via HTTPS ### ✅ Configurable Security - `use_https` setting to enable/disable HTTPS - `verify_ssl` setting for certificate verification - Development mode support (without verification) ### ✅ Robust Error Handling - SSL-specific error messages - Graceful fallbacks - Comprehensive logging --- ## Configuration ### Minimal Setup (Using Defaults) ```json { "server_ip": "digi-signage.moto-adv.com", "port": "443", "screen_name": "tv-terasa", "quickconnect_key": "8887779", "use_https": true, "verify_ssl": true } ``` ### For Testing (Without SSL Verification) ```json { "use_https": true, "verify_ssl": false } ``` ### For HTTP (Development Only) ```json { "use_https": false, "verify_ssl": false, "port": "5000" } ``` --- ## Testing & Verification ### ✅ Syntax Validation - All Python files compile without errors - All JSON configurations are valid - No import errors ### ✅ Integration Points - Player authentication with HTTPS ✓ - Playlist fetching with HTTPS ✓ - Media downloads with HTTPS ✓ - Status feedback via HTTPS ✓ - Certificate management ✓ ### ✅ Backward Compatibility - Existing HTTP deployments still work (`use_https: false`) - Legacy configuration loading still supported - All changes are non-breaking --- ## Deployment Instructions ### Step 1: Update Configuration Edit `config/app_config.json` and ensure: ```json { "use_https": true, "verify_ssl": true, "port": "443" } ``` ### Step 2: Restart Application ```bash cd /home/pi/Desktop/Kiwy-Signage ./stop_player.sh ./start.sh ``` ### Step 3: Verify Functionality - Monitor logs for SSL messages - Check certificate is saved: `ls ~/.kiwy-signage/` - Test playlist fetch works - Confirm all API calls succeed ### Step 4: Monitor - Watch for SSL-related errors in first hours - Verify performance is acceptable - Monitor certificate expiration if applicable --- ## Troubleshooting Quick Links | Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | `SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED` | See HTTPS_QUICK_REFERENCE.md - Troubleshooting | | Connection refused on 443 | Check HTTPS is enabled on server | | Certificate endpoint 404 | Verify `/api/certificate` exists on server | | Slow HTTPS | Increase timeout in player_auth.py | See `HTTPS_QUICK_REFERENCE.md` for detailed troubleshooting. --- ## Files Modified Summary | File | Changes | Status | |------|---------|--------| | src/ssl_utils.py | NEW -
